Brisbane is famously known as the “City of Bridges” as it has several river crossings such as the iconic Victoria bridge and Story Bridge. It also earned the name “Jacaranda City” due to a wide variety of jacaranda trees that bloom to give purple hues during the spring season. Brisbane’s Spring Hill Reservoir serves as an underground water reserve and was constructed back in the 19th century and is still operational. It is now used as a space for operas and concerts. In 1930, Brisbane’s City Hall was completed, and it houses the ‘time capsule’ that contains artifacts depicting Brisbane’s history. The famous cricket ground of Brisbane is known as Woolloongabba or Gabba.
March to May are the best months to visit Brisbane. Temperatures during this time hover between the high 50s and mid-80s during this time. Be warned that the city can get very warm with an average of 8 hours of sun per day. So make sure you stay hydrated and carry your sunscreen with you. June to August (winter) and September to November (spring) are also a good time for a visit.
There’s no dearth of options when it comes to getting around Brisbane. The public transportation system is very efficient and affordable. Buses, ferries, trams and trains operated by TransLink make the CBD and outer suburbs easy to reach. You could also rent a car or book sightseeing tours that include roundtrip transportation from your hotel.
Brisbane provides a range of outdoor pursuits, including biking alongside the Brisbane River, kayaking near the Kangaroo Point Cliffs, trekking Mount Glorious, and relishing the walking paths within the D'Aguilar National Park.
